Alright, so all at once my hydraulic systems failed... turn out my dad has been using DOT3 break fluid and it fails about 1 year after he moves to Germany and leaves me the car.

I had a $120 gift card for Spit-bits and orders a new clutch master and slave. that is one system down

so i had an old rebuild kit for the the brake master cylinder. not paying attention when i was pulling things apart on the secondary valve the spring lets lose and the valve shoots off. After spending the better part of a day looking for it i can not find it anywhere.

Calling around it seems that spits bit and VB both do not sell it by it self.

So I am at a loss, i can not put the breaks back together and the clutch parts will be here in the morning. I finely have an interview this week for a job (been out of work for nearly 6 months)and i really do not want to have to reschedule due to a lack of transportation.

Any help or work arounds at this point would be a great help.

Thanks in advance.

Will

Let me know how it works once you receive it.

By the way... I try to use a shop rag when disassembling spring loaded components to lessen the risk of it becoming airborne.

Or disassemble in a paper shopping bag or large cardboard box. Keeps all the errant bits from running under benches, water heaters, cracks inna floorboards, etc. :wink:
